Soggy Potato Chips did a completely awesome remix of Devastator, an ultra old 'sicles track, and it's currently available at The FuMP Sideshow for $0.

Gonna be in Madison tonight if people wanna do a thing.

If you're part of the 2% of my friends list who isn't friends with someone who's already posted it, here's a mini-music video big_whisky made for the new Dark Clan album wherein Katja shoots me in the face. My hair is extra emo and I was still rocking the hillbilly tooth.

I'm also the 806th dude on your flist who just got into Torchwood.

The Gottzikk'elz will be living in Chicago by the first week of June. Got a place picked out and everything, all signing the lease after work ~~tonight~~ [tomorrow night]. MKE friends will be missed (but not that much 'cause it's like seriously an hour and a half away), but I'm ultra flip-out happy to be leaving my current job.

Speaking of which, that job in Deerfield didn't pan out, so if you got any leads on anything in the Chicago area, toss that my way and I will love you forever and ever until we grow old together and die.

(also chuggin' along on new m00zak and will (hopefully) have pretty stellar show announcement soon)

this is old and you've seen it before, but i think you should watch it again because it is perfect.

Got a job interview in Deerfield, IL early tomorrow morning. I'm excited about that part, but it means I'm out for the show at the Inferno tonight. Sorry doodz.

coolest real people names i can think of off the top of my head:

- Roman Dirge (Lenore) [My semi-estranged dogg hotbeatz will tell you that there exists no cooler name than this.]

- Joe Ferraro (CTRLSHFT)

- Micah Skaritka (Cruciform Injection)

- Vivica Fox

- Armand Assante

- Hunter Stair (Kenny Loggins in Yacht Rock)

names i can't decide on:

- Uma Thurman
(kinda cool alliteration thing going on, but with a classically unattractive cadence. kind of sounds more like an old bag with three pound underwear than an ageless smokin' hot asskicker.)

- Mila Jovavich
(kind of a lot of syllables)

- Rick Smith (Underworld)
(the majestic simplicity of james dean, but less forced. common names in an uncommon combination...but is that enough?)

Arrrg, I guess Terrior Bute isn't opening for Freezepop anymore 'cause shit gets fucked up sometimes.

darknes @ 2008-03-25T10:24:00

2008-03-25T15:32:14Z

THIS FRIDAY IN MADISON
FREEZEPOP
Joy Electric and
TERRIOR BUTE (brother's band)

@ Club 770 (Union South) for FREE! (sorta*)

Freezepop was largely influential in the start of both me and my brother Jeff's musical careers, so this is kind of a thing for us.

*I've heard you have to be either a UW student, guest of a student, or a union member to be able to get into this show. I've also heard you may be able to buy a "day pass" at Memorial Union earlier in the day and use that to get, but I don't know for sure.

Work is sucking some serious mountain goat asshole, which is why I'm super goddamn pumped to be leaving at the asscrack of tomorrow for New Haven, CT and the ensuing Blacksun Festival. The Dark Clan is gonna rock ya faaaaaayyssssssssssss aaaahhhhhffffffffffff.

We're also playing what the website says is an official pre-party.

new free sort-of-sicles track!

2008-03-08T02:29:30Z

Hella posty as of late, but check this out:

"Sudden Death feat. The Gothsicles - Why Can't I Shoot The Dog" now available on The FuMP!

I put in a lot of work on all the music and half the lyrics and downrightamazed really helped me out/saved my azz on the recording and mixing.

I picked up the CD this is on, Sudden Death's "Fatal Error", at MarsCon and it is so funny and good.

A 'sicles song has now been

So industrial supastar and all around awesome dude, Brendan of DefCon / Cruciform Injection lives in Madison now (and working for Human Head, no less). That is so rad.

Speaking of Madison, Imma be* chillaxing at the one and only Inferno Saturday night for to hear EYG and Koob play that sweet, sweet stuff. Won't you join us?

*(This is provided I have sufficiently recovered from the DEATHPLAGUE)

The new Boole is so good. "Timeline" is a song for the ages (pun semi-intended).

The boss is out today and I beat Bionic Commando a couple weeks ago, so here's a couple variations on lj icons of 8Bit Hitler (8bitler's?) head exploding:

You saw it here first.
